Insulin causes blood sugar to be deposited as fat. A fuel cell causes blood sugar to be turned into electricity, and eventually some combination of work and heat, which could be far more desirable than fat.
Type 2 diabetics have the issue where body parts become increasingly "deaf" to insulin. This keeps blood sugar levels higher for longer periods of time.

There are already small devices that regulate insulin levels. How would this improve on those?
